Our Boys in Brazil
Nick Claydon, our Technical Department Supervisor and Rob Jones, our Mechatronics Degree Apprentice, embarked on a mission to install a state-of-the-art Kawahara TXS Blanking system in the heart of Brazil. Their objective was to revolutionise in-mould label (IML) production and equip operators with the tools they need for success.
As Nick and Rob set foot in Brazil, they brought with them not just machinery, but their expertise. Their goal was clear: to empower operators and elevate production standards – and judging by the smiles on everyone’s faces, it’s safe to say they succeeded. The operators were thrilled with the new system, recognising its pivotal role in enhancing their IML production capabilities.
But this success story goes beyond mere machinery installation. It’s a testament to Blankmaster’s commitment to excellence and their unwavering pursuit of innovation. In choosing Kawahara, Blankmaster reaffirmed their dedication to quality and efficiency in IML production – a decision that has paid dividends in South America and beyond.
With four Kawahara machines now operational in South America, Blankmaster’s footprint in the region continues to expand. But the question remains: where to next? As Gary Compton ponders this exciting prospect, one thing is clear: the sky’s the limit for Blankmaster and their journey with Kawahara.
Meanwhile, ANC Machinery, the proud manufacturer behind the Kawahara brand, stands as a beacon of innovation in the blanking machinery industry. Specialising in machinery for processing die-cut sheets of cartons, cards, labels, and IML, ANC Machinery’s commitment to excellence shines through in every product bearing the Kawahara name.
As Blankmaster’s success story unfolds in South America, it serves as a testament to the power of partnership, innovation, and unwavering dedication to excellence. With each new installation, each new triumph, Blankmaster and Kawahara pave the way for a brighter future in IML production—a future limited only by imagination and ambition.
